Lead Salesforce Technical Consultant

TECHOHANA; Greater London; Hybrid; GBP 80,000 - 100,000; Full time

Job summary

TECHOHANA is seeking a Lead Salesforce Technical Consultant to own end-to-end technical design across multiple client builds on the Salesforce platform. You will drive a configuration-first approach, minimize bespoke code, and guide a pipeline that leverages AI to accelerate delivery while maintaining release readiness.

In this leadership role, you will serve as the client-facing technical authority, align on trade-offs, and ensure sustainable, reusable patterns for the team.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on Salesforce development with real depth in Apex and Lightning Web Components.
• A demonstrable bias to configuration over bespoke build, with clear examples of steering clients or internal teams away from unnecessary custom code
• Strong judgement on where the boundary between configuration and code should sit, and the confidence to defend that position with clients
• Deep knowledge of Salesforce declarative automation, including when Flows are appropriate and when they are not
• Experience designing for maintainability so that support and operational teams can change the product without engineering involvement
• Strong Salesforce API and integration experience across REST and SOAP, with solid DevOps and CI/CD practice
• Confidence and credibility in client-facing settings, running technical calls, presenting trade-offs, and acting as the client's primary technical contact
• Practical, recent experience using AI coding assistants as part of day-to-day delivery. Genuine use since 2025 matters far more to this business than years on a CV

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end technical design across a portfolio of concurrent client Salesforce builds.
• Direct a build pipeline that is increasingly AI- and agent-executed.
• Hold review gates as the human judgement in the pipeline and maintain accountability for quality and release readiness.
• Act as the client's primary technical contact and defend architectural decisions in client discussions.
• Capture reusable patterns and design decisions for team-wide acceleration.

Job description

Role: Lead Salesforce Technical Consultant

Salary: Up to £100,000 - DOE

Location: London - Hybrid

TechOhana have partnered with a growing technology business to bring on a Lead Salesforce Technical Consultant.

This organisation builds a Salesforce-native platform and delivers client products on top of it as an embedded team. The work compounds into the product rather than ending with the engagement, and they are looking for a Lead Salesforce Technical Consultant to own the end-to-end technical design across a portfolio of concurrent client builds and capture every decision back into reusable patterns that make the whole team faster.

You will serve as the technical authority across two to three concurrent client-facing product implementations on Salesforce. You will own the solution design, direct a build pipeline that is increasingly AI and agent-executed, hold the review gates as the human judgement in that pipeline, and maintain accountability for quality and release readiness throughout. A strong configuration-first instinct is fundamental to this role. Custom Apex is a last resort, and everything you build should be operable by non-engineering teams without developer involvement.

If you are an experienced Salesforce technical leader with a strong configuration-first mindset and are open to exploring your next move, we would welcome a conversation.

Requirements
